This super-easy salad comes together in no time. The pan seared prawns are combined with Romaine lettuce, fresh herbs and gooseberries, and then tossed with a light vinaigrette dressing that can be served as either appetizer or entrée.

- Place Romaine lettuce, cilantro leaves and gooseberries in a serving plater.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
- Season the prawns with the salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the prawns and cook until they are just cooked through, 2-3 minutes.
- Spoon the prawns over the salad. Drizzle with the dressing.

What a fresh and refreshing salad. It must be hot where you are? In England it feels so much autumn now. Cold and rainy :-( Looking forward to go to Italy!!
This looks wonderful - I've never had gooseberries but they seem perfect for a summer salad with the prawns!

Easy, colorful, refreshing; I wouldn't wish for a better summer meal.
Oh my, I haven't seen gooseberries in years!
I've never had gooseberries- are they like cranberries?
Prawns and gooseberries! Sounds so fantastic! I would like such combination :)
Those prawns looks perfect. A nice protein packed salad.
Wow!Big prawn with fresh veggie salad. I wish i could have some, yummy! :)
What a lovely looking delish and refreshing salad!
i've never tried a gooseberry but i'm definitely intrigued by them. this is a lovely salad!
Yum! I love some shrimp on a salad and this is a great summer lunch. I like how you cooked them with the skin on...it has great flavor and that salt & pepper really adheres to it.
Hi Angie, very refreshing and healthy salad. It look so inviting, wish I can have a bowl now. :))
Excellent presentation.
Have a wonderful day ahead,regards.

Those are some gorgeous gooseberries! Love your combo of them with prawns and that maple sweetened dressing!
A very beautiful and colorful salad. I love the gooseberries. This is the perfect salad for a week night meal. Thanks for sharing:)
Love lettuce salad and this look beautifful and yumm!!
What a beautiful salad Angie! That dressing sounds amazing! I love the addition of gooseberries too - I've never tried them in a salad before. What a great idea!
Gooseberries are something that are very hard to find here. i had a bush once but never got a berry! Pretty salad, Angie and you know I adore shrimp!
Just like some things are easy to find here and not there - I don't think I've never seen a gooseberry here. They are beautiful! The salad, shrimp and dressing all sound wonderful and salad meals in the summer are perfect!
Beautiful dish Angie, just love the colours. Have you considered grilling the romaine? It's out of this world, just slightly wilted! I usually rub garlic on it with a little olive oil.

I don't know if I've ever seen gooseberries around here. What gorgeous little berrries and an even more gorgeous salad. Very clever idea to use shrimp as the salad's protein.
Oh, boy, what a perfect summer meal. I don't think we have access to gooseberries, but I think this would be scrumptious with any berry :)
Oh those gooseberries look wonderful! I haven't seen red ones before...we had green in England that I remember.
Love the flavour combo too!
Gorgeous salad Angie and I'm always up for prawns no matter how they're served. I don't think I've ever tasted a gooseberry. I'll keep my eye out for them here. Their color in the salad is so pretty.

Love salads like this, Angie. Easy to make and full of flavor. Don't think I've ever seen gooseberries in any market here, though, Will use what's available!
This salad looks amazing, Angie! I love the gooseberries and shrimp in here!
Dear Angie, This would be a welcoming meal this week. It is very warm here and I love cool and delicious and healthy salad meals. xoxo Catherine
Very tasty and really healthy dish. GG
Those gooseberries are so pretty Angie - what a wonderful way to feature them with the green lettuce and perfectly seared prawns - I would eat two helpings of this and skip the main course!
Oh those prawns look wonderful, Angie! They really make a salad special. And I've always wanted to try gooseberries. I wonder how available they are.....but definitely worth the hunt!
You just brought back some childhood memories. We had a gooseberry tree and growing up, I ate so much. I'm loving this salad. Fresh for summer.
the gooseberries look so delicious Angie, love the flavors!
I don't think I've ever seen gooseberries at my grocery store! I'm going to have to find some - this salad is so pretty!
Hi Angie, gooseberries are new to me, love this beautiful salad!
Wow those gooseberries look so plump and juicy! Wish we get them fresh here. :P It sure looks delicious it that salad. :9
I love the colors of this salad. The combination of the prawns, gooseberries, and romaine sounds wonderful.
Gooseberries!! We don't get those over here, but they sound great in this salad.
So our gooseberries are green an d super sour? I've never seen ones likes these.
I can't say I've ever tried gooseberries. I'm off to google to check them out. That shrimp looks fabulous!
A healthy and delicious salad! I love gooseberries!!
Angie, your photos are gorgeous!!
I had already decided on shrimp for dinner tonight and here you are with the perfect, light summer recipe. Will be switching out the berries because Minnesota's gooseberries aren't in until September. Now you have me wishing that dinnertime would come and it's only 9 a.m.!
What an original combination - never had gooseberries with shellfish before. Looks great
Gooseberries?? I have not seen them in a while...Good for reminding me :)
I've never tried gooseberries, but this recipe certainly makes me want to!
I really love lettuce infact I eat it every day. You have given me a good tip to pair it with gooseberries. I have never thought of that. Lovely happy dish Angie!
This looks scrumptious! I've never tried gooseberries.
Beautiful salad Angie. I don't think I've ever tried a gooseberry.
This is such a healthy and delicious salad! Yum!
What a combination!! I seriously need to start making more salads!
Beautiful, Angie! If only I can get my hands on some gooseberries that don't cost a fortune! They're not very common here.
I made your lovely salad yesterday evening with fresh gooseberries from a neighbor's garden! Divine! xxxx

What a wonderful salad, my husband would love this --- and I have to confess, I've never tasted a gooseberry!! I'm not sure I can even get them here in the States...I wonder what is the closest substitute? Grapes?
Hi Angie, after a month absence, I'm back again...can't pass up your beautiful and unusual delicious salad with gooseberries and prawns! The last time I had gooseberries when I visited relatives in Hungary. They have an abundance of these lovely berries growing in their garden. I love your salad and would make it as a full meal for me which is so perfect for my weight loss program. Have a wonderful week, ahead!
Hi Angie, very appetizing salad, the combo is excellent. Haven;t taste gooseberry, it look very nice.
